What we can do together

Our projects range across three areas of development education, training and work, health.

Endo-vaginal scan

Fondazione Italia Uganda is trying to purchase a new gynecological instrument: the endo-vaginal scan; this instrument will allow us to take care of women during pregnancy, keeping the health of the baby monitored over the 9 months.

Maintenance classrooms

Hospitality Training Institute

Fondazione Italia Uganda is raising funds for the development of a professional learning centre for tourism, a three-story building that will provide students with skills in the field of hospitality management

The Trust

The Foundation is part of a Trust, an entity set up under Ugandan law, promoted by Father Giovanni, which includes two other partners: Emmaus Foundation Ltd., a social enterprise, and Benedict Medical Centre Ltd., a not-for-profit clinic. The beneficiaries of the Trust are the Archdiocese of Kampala and Gulu.

Our stories

In the heart of our mission there are people. For this reason we want to give space to their faces and their stories.

Education

Health

Today Rachel is a happy mother!Rachel is a young mother of 26 who 11 months ago gave birth to little Sheila at the BMC hospital. About three years ago, Rachel had gone to a hospital in the suburbs complaining about abdominal pains. She was told she was suffering from a fybro-mioma, a benign tumor located in the uterus.

Training and work
